'Stand your ground' laws faulted by Sens. Warren and Markey
By Associated Press / July 22, 2013
BOSTON
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is questioning the wisdom of so-called "stand your ground" lawsfollowing the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
Asked if Zimmerman should face federal civil rights charges in the death of Martin, who was black, Warren said the Justice Department is considering the question, but the jury has spoken.
The Massachusetts Democrat said the goal should be to create a country "not just where some of us are safe, but where all of our children are safe."
